We need a little more information about your set up to answer that question. What is the engine you are running, what turbo is on there, ect... You need to tell us every thing pertaining to your set up.

mitsu eclipse side mount intercooler under hood scoop, 1.5 liter dohc mazda protege engine less than 50k jdm, ihi mazda mx6 turbo bolted to the stock manifold with custom welded flange, tapped oil pan, bosch blow off valve from an 88 saab, t3 wastegate on the ihi turbo set to boost at 8 psi, stock exhaust minus the soon to be welded part for the exhaust from the downpipe to the exhaust, lineage ground wire kit soon to be installed, uhh mass air flow sensor on intake side of turbo, i dunno what else to tell ya, turbosmart boost controller...right now im running the oem NGK plugs.

and yes, im the guy with the 1.5L 98 protege that everyone said could not be turbocharged.... after i get the steel oil lines, it will be reliable enough to drive .

if anyone doesn't know, the ihi mx6 turbo is a small turbocharger... if it matters... they have pics at homemadeturbo.com in their tech section under turbochargers about halfway down...i replaced the wastegate on it with a saab one because the one it came with had a hole in it and did not boost. it wouldn't even spool because the spring was shot and would open before boost even hit. blah
